Residential Learning Communities

The office of Residential Life and the Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures are collaborating on a new Residential
Learning Community called “La Casa!” We would love your
help in promoting this new community with your students by sharing
the information below:

Introducing a new Residential Learning Community: La
Casa!

La Casa, featuring Vecinos and Amici, is a language learning
community for students who want to practice and expand their
knowledge of Spanish & Italian languages and culture. Both
heritage and non-native speakers are encouraged to participate in
this community. Any student who enjoys experiencing and learning
more about Spanish and Italian customs and cultures will find La
Casa a great opportunity! Special features of this community
include: Language Immersion Hours, Karaoke, Trips to
Museums/Shows, Dance Nights, Cultural Dinners, Language Dinners,
Game Nights, Films, and opportunities to interact with
language faculty.

La Casa is located on the first floor of Terrace 5 and is open
to all upper-year students (Sophomores – Seniors). For more
information, please visit: https://www.ithaca.edu/reslife/guide/specialty/ We
would love your support as we create this awesome living and
learning community – please spread the word to friends and
classmates who may have an interest!

To apply, please complete the La Casa application on
Homerconnect by March 7th
(https://ahomerwa2.ithaca.edu:4530/pls/sisprod/twbkwbis.P_ValLogin).
Residential Life will approve applications on March 9th
and by March 10th at 7am, students approved to live in a
Residential Learning Community (RLC) will be able to select their
housing for 2016-2017. For sophomore applicants, this means
selecting housing before the typical summer sophomore selection
process.
